Good to know we can all now pirate ALL of Meta’s shit under the fair use excuse and they won’t mind. Right?

So yesterday’s Anthropic victory said that the use of copyrighted works to train LLMs was fair use, but only because Anthropic had been buying and scanning in the media so the first sale doctrine was protecting them. Did the judge in the facebook case now really say that it was ok to pirate the materials in the first place because there was no market harm? That seems impossible, it seems like it would open up a huge loophole in copyright law.
